The tickets for the dinner at Merchant Taylors' Hall, on the 50th anniversary of his MAJESTY'S accession, are announced at three guineas each.— This is a large sum in these times for a festival which ought to be regarded rather as a test of loyalty than as an occasion for luxury ; but as this particular ce lebration is intended chiefly for the higher orders of society, it ought to be marked by peculiar grandeur and sumptuous magnificence. We hope, however, that every other class of the community will have a s imilar festival, proportioned to their means 5 for every man in the Empir e w h o h as sense enough to compare the condition of thi s country, and that of every other on the face of the globe, must feel the wannest emotious of grateful loyalty towards a venerable Monarch, whose chief happiness through the whole of his long reign, has d e p en d ed on the happiness of his sublettc.

MURRAY, joined the Royal Sisters, and were rowed round the frigates and yacht for near two hours. They landed at three o'clock at the Pier, amidst an immense concourse of people that the day had drawn from all parts of the coun try. MAIDSTONE, SEPT. 19.

Benstecl, at Fant, near this town, in passing along with-an iron crow on his shoul der, the bank of the quarry gave way, which threw him down, and the iron crow rolling upon his neck, killed him on the spot. This being the fourth man who has inet with a similar fate in the same quarry within four years. Rear-A.dmiral Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE, in the Pontpde, sailed from Antigua on the 2d of August, in company with.-the Abercrombie and several men of war, to Halifax, in order to avoid the hurricanes which generally take place at this season of the year is the West Indies. - BRAZlL.—Extraol of a letter from Rio Janeiro, dated July 26 :—" I am sorry to inform you, that a serious misunderstauding took place here on the 2.4 th of Jane, in consequence of an order issued by the Government, to draft ten men from every hundred of the militia, to be put into the regulars, but, in the provinces, the militia is thrice as numerous as the troops of the line. The Colonels and superior Offi cers of the different regiments of the Militia, formed a body, and went to the Palace, remonstrating with the Governor, but, on receiving no redress, they im mediately resigned their commissions. The next morning an order..was_ issued by the Governor for the Militia to appear in the Grand Square before the Pa lace (disarmed) but the Officers suspecting the in tention of the Governor to seize the men by force, went with a considerable body of the Militia ,to the Palace, and expressed their determination not to com ply with the Governor's orders. The Governor, dreading the consequences', innnediately issued an order, countermanding all their previous resolutions. The necessaries of lifebecoMe every day, more exor bitant. The dinner daily in the Palace costs not less than 3001. sterling, and the number of female at- tendants are•not less tban 400." CITY Bust NEss.—.Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall, at which the Lord Mayor, fourteen Aldermen, and the City Officers were pre sent. The Court, having inspeeted the Mealweighers' reports, ordered the price of Bread to be raised to. Is. 4d. the quarter► loaf of wheaten, and is. household. The Emanuel Hospital Committee reported the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, lately deceased (Who received 2001. a-year in hen of the tithes for the Bradburton Estate in Yorkshire, left by Lady Dacres as a charity to the Hospital,) had , been succeeded by the Rev. Mr. Bradshaw, who demanded the exorbitant sum of 9201. per annum for the said tithes, which was read, and it was referred to the Solicitor to take a legal opinion thereon. FOOT-RACING.—^rA hard twenty miles match was run yesterday morning early, on a piece of chosen ground of a mile, near Maidenhead, between Mr. Grigg, a quick runner, and Matthew Mark, for 50 guineas a side. The countryman was rather the fa vourite, and took the lead at the rate of eight miles an hour, followed closely by his adversary. They were together at ten miles', having perfoimed it in one hour and eight minutes. Both made play here, and being nearly alike in speed, the race was, per haps, the best ever witnessed. They were together at nineteen miles without being able to gain ten yards of each other, and Mr. Grigg won the match by two minutes only. The distance was performed in two hours and twenty minutes. On Friday last, as some workmen were quarry ing on the lands of Doonas, in the county of Clare, for John Massy, of Waterpark, Esq. on remov ing a large stone which lay in the way of a car, they found two large crocks of ancient gold and sil rer coins, of the reign of Edward VI. James I. and Charles 1. with many different foreign coins, and a few halfpence of Clare. Died suddenli, on Friday last, at Plymouth, that famous pugilist, Nicholas (otherwise Nickey) Glubh; he has for nearly forty years past been employed as a porter, in carrying coals to different parts of the town, although for the last ten years quite blind ; during the latter period he was led by his wife, and they gained the appellation of the constant couple. He lost his eyes in two severe pugilistic combats, in which he generally came off victorious. He was interred in the burying-ground on Satut day last, fol ' lowed to the grave by several of his profession, and a large concourse of boys. - lON • ClitithiAi•ED PEDESTMAN', Ve Heralds . .

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON MUM HIS MAJESTY ' S SHIP IMPLACABLE, DATED OFF REVEL, GULF OF FINLAND, JULY 10, 1 809- c‘ Since my last we have been very successful.— We left our station off Carlscrona on the 22d of . June, and proceeded dire6tly to the Gulf with the squadron on our arrival off Dagerot, we u ere sent.. - On - a station, with the Melpomene frigate under our command, to cruize between the Islands of Nargen and Hogland. In our . passage we took two galliots laden with naval stores on account of.the Russian Government, and we also fell in with one of our licensed vessels; who gave us information of a Rus sian frigate cruizing between Hogland and Aspo, about 20 English leagues from Cronstadt y we im mediately made all sail, the Melpomene in company, and on the 30th June saw . a : strange sail upon a wind a-head ; we made all sail in chace, and in the course of a few hours found her to be a frigate ; we disguised ourselves as much as possible, having a stump fore-top-gallant mast up, and our mizen-top gallant mast struck, and our hammock clothes made fast outside to cover our bright side ; but she having a friendly port under her lee, named Aspo, about three leagues from her, escaped in, without our hav ingthe satisfatiion to give her such a drubbing as the unfortunate Seoolod had : she is one of their large line of battle frigates, with a few guns on her lower deck. Our brave and gallant Captain would have gone in if he could have obtained a pilot. • We discovered four large corvettes lying there ; since then, on the Ist of July, we took seven galliots, laden with spars, large enough for a frigate's top masts, and plank fit tor a 74's deck, and to-day we have taken anot hey gailiot and - two schooners. We have detached a fl)ing squadron of boats along the coast, and are now lying off Revel with our convoy of' prizes, waiting for a lair wind to send them to England. We have received information from a vessel, that 30 sail; laden with naval stores, are now lying at St: Petersburgh, preparing for sea of course a sharp look-out will be kept." - THE NEW THEATRE.--Ne are sorry to say that the mime .accee of riot and confusion tookplace at Covent-Garden Theatre last night, as occurred the night before. The audience was by no means so numerous, but the' spirit of opposition was not less violent. The chief scene of turbulence was in the Pit, but there were many riotous persons in the Boxes. The same call for " Old prices!"—" No CATALANI," &c. reverberated over the house, and printed papers,. demanding a rednEtion of the price of adniission, were hoisted in the Pit.— The Beggar's Opera; and Is he a Prince? were the intended entertainments ; but not a word could be heard from the beginning to the end. The per formances terminated soon after ten o'clock, and after about an hour longer, passed in clamour, the crowd gradually dispersed, without doing any mis chief. Ttt E LY CEU M.—This Theatre closed for the season last night, with the Opera of The Russian Impostor, for the Benefit of Mr. RAYMOND. The entertain ments have been conduEted with the utmost regu larity, and the most cordial harmony has subsisted between the Performers and Mr. ARNOLD the Ma nager, who deserves great credit for his zeal, assiduity and liberality in the public service. The following Address delivered by Mr. RAYMOND, was received with the warmest applause " LADIES AND GE N TLEMEN evening's perform ance will close the first season of the English Opera. The difficulties which the Proprietors have had to encounter in establishing an Opera where native talent alone was to be employed, have been great, but they have been rewarded in an eminent degree, not only by your flattering approbation, but by your constant and liberal patronage. Their efforts have been so successful, as to prove, that our Native Muses have native troops in abundance, able and willing to light their battles, without calling in the aid of tbreign auxiliaries - . When a little time shall have matured their plans for your more extended amusement, the remembrance of your kind ness will give vigour to their exertions. and enable them, at a future period, to render the English Opera worthy the pro tedion of the English nation. " In the name.of the Proprietors, Ladies and Gentlemen, arid of theTerformers in general (many of whom, but for this establishment, might never perhaps have had the opportu nity of being honoured With your fostering applause), 1 have to offer you the grateful tribute of their sincere and heartfelt thanks ; fur them, tharelbre, and by their desire, 1 resped fully bid you larewell." It is said that CATALANI'S husband offered to resign his wile's engagement several days ago, and that it has been accepted by the Covent-Garden, Proprietors, from a disposition to avoid giving any further occasion for public disturbances. It is fur ther said, that the fiiir warbler, with the DESHAYES, D'EGVILLE and his pupils, ate about to depart itn me4diately for Ireland. It is somewhat remarkable, that when the great HANDEL did not find due en• couragement in this country, he - sought protedion in Ireland, where he received the warmest support and kindness. The chief Opposition Paper, in • stating this day the rumour of changes among the Administration, has discovered that " Lord ELDON has been sent for." It is rather surprishig that that Paper, with all its pretences to superior information, and its re peated hints.of being in the secret, did not know that 11,Ord ELDON came to town on matters of political interest, near a fortnight ago I Yesterday Janzel Dthanzan indicted fOr 'corn: . knitting a violent' rssattll'on . J Atn Rini; his ltep lather, at Fulhatn, orirthe - Bth-tirf'Decurnberlast. The assault at detailed' by. the Prosccutoi, vas outragenus;,in the extreme. ,Tlrf Defend;itit. it ap: peared, after- abusing some,fr ends whom-thc'. l';'(Aer cutor, who. had married the D •fcmciaor's tirnher, bad, invited to his house,. attac:ied the PrriSecutot himself, and also his wife, .wh had betaken her= , self for, safety to ,another petit; whiCh she secured on the inside. the Defendant for Ced open the room .where his mother was, and; on the Prosecu tor's rescuing herfrom him, seized him so closely by the throat that the blood sprang out from his ears.— The Defendant. then desired One of two brothers, N-V4O were .also. assisting him, to hand him the poker, that he Might have his step-father's life. There. beinglitipoker he Seized on a candle Stick, with which be beat the Pyosecutor Abut the shdulders• the latte'r guarding his head the best way he could, till hesitc.- ceeded its wresting the candlestick from the Defend ant's grasp. .The ,Defendant then struck the Prose- . cutor a violent . bio‘v with his fist, immediately under the eye, on thetcheek, so as to lay it open, and to occaston blood to issue from the nose and mouth. He also seized on different candlesticks, afterward.; in the course of the affray, with the design of com pleting- his Erolessed purpose-to take away the lite of. the Prosecutor, who only escaped trtitit him by getting out of; the room, and locking it upon the Defendant. Mr. GURNEY qnd Mr. ALLEY were Mr the prose= cut ion, and completely made out their case. CoNs•r, fOr • the.D.efendant, adduced no wit= nesses, but rather appealing to the feelings of the Court, represented : this as a case of family misun derstanding, the mother of the Defendant, now the wife of the Prosecutor, having been by her former husband, who was a market gardener, left . in absolute disposal of his property and business, with a remarkable clause in the will, declaring this to be in full confidenceof her maternal regard for her chi), dren,,seven in number, who had since their father 4 death carried on his business, of the fruits of which they were likely to be deprived by their mother's second husband , a butcher, who wished to turn them out of possession, and to transfer the property to others. Theiury found the Defendant and 'hi Chairman declared the sentence of the Court to be, that the Defendant should be imprisoned for silt months; and at the expiration of that period should enter into reeognizances to keep the peace; himself in 0001. and two sureties in 6001. each. Joiepli Dearlove was indtaed for assaulting an Uri. fortun:ite tetnak, who had lodgings in his house, stn the parish of St. Pancras. There were circunista, , c of atrocity of a dark feature attached to tht which invoked the indignation of the G.eti Jury, without a .moment's hesitation, to,:: Guilty. The Court sentenced him to two woutu imprisonnient in the House of CorrectiOn. The next case of this vile description was that Of Martha Bugden. This abominable. Miicreatit was . charged with having committed a wanton and wicked' assault an Sarah Smith, a very young woman, to: whom she gave shelter in her fi:tby den in Craven buildings, Drury-lane,' for the purpose of rost it tiOn. Sarah 'Smith stated certain extortions of tl:e defendant, to which she had subtnitted„ until she ot tained a more indulgent- landlady, whereupon she 'gave notice to quit. This was signal enough ibr the defendant to exercise, all . her fury and vengeance, which she did by fra6turing the prosethatrix's skull, and leaving her almost dead in the back-yard of the house. At this instant some humane persons; bear ing the'noise, broke in, and ,rescued her, from cer , tain death. • Her account was confirmed by another unfortc nate girl, who lived in the house, and by several of the neighbours. The Defend lilt's Counsel . made some earnest attempts to persuade the Jury that the whole was a fabrication, bur it did not succeed, and she was foundguilty with the full consent and appro bation of a crowded Court. After the Jury returned theirverdia, the fellow who owned the house (the husband of the prisoler) had the - audacity to pre sent himself to the Court, and say that the prose... cutrix had not settled her rent. This, hewever,was dis; proved by witnesses, and Mr. MAINWARING, aftei, reprobating the outrageous coadud of his wicked and termagant wife, as well as animadverting on the pro fligate course which he led, by living on the prosti tution of unhappy females, pronounced the sentence of the Court, which was, that . the Prisoner should be confined in the House of CorreEtion for three months ; and directed a letter to Messrs. Jenning and Collier, Vestry Clerks of the parish of St. Cle ment Danes, enjoining them, on the part of the parish, to prosecute the brothel as a nuisance. ANECDOTE---A Welsh 'Squire having taken of fence at a poor Curate, who employed his leisure hours in mending clocks and watches, applied to a late Bishop of St. Asaph, with a formal Complaint against him for impiously carrying on a trade, con trary to the statute. His Lordship having heard the , complaint, told the 'Squire he might depend upon it that the strictest justice should be done in th-,, case; accordingly the mechanic divine was sent tot a few days after, when the Bishop asked him " How he dared to disgrace his diocese by becoming a mender of clocks and watches ?" The other, with nll humility, answered, " To satisfy the wants of a wife and ten children."—" That won't do W me," rejoined the Prelate—" inriiEt such a pun ishment upon you as shall nvike you leave off your pitiful trade, I promise you ;" and immediately calling in his Secretary, ordered him to make oat a 1 Presentation. for • the astonished Curate, to a lividx of at least 1501. per annum.
